Abstract

S P J J van Rensburg, professor 1963-1972 The aim of this article is to take a look at Van Rensburg as a theologian. He was a conservative theologian in the sense that he wanted to serve the church of Christ by his scientific study of the Bible. He was greatly influenced by ‘Continental Theology’, especially as practiced by renowned German scholars. He was neither a fundamentalist nor over-enthusiastic about Bultmann’s idea of demythologising the New Testament.
